​
Overview

Change a product’s status without updating any other fields. This is a lightweight way to publish or unpublish a product. Vendor tokens can only update their own products. If the shop has product approval enabled, setting status to ACTIVE may place the product into a pending state instead, requiring merchant approval before it goes live.

​
Use Cases

  • Publish a draft product to the storefront
  • Temporarily unpublish a product by switching it to draft
  • Quickly toggle product visibility without a full product update

​
Required Scope

products:write

​
Path Parameters

​
productId
string
required
Product ID (Shopify numeric, GID, or MongoDB ObjectId).

​
Request Body

​
status
string
required
The new status. Must be one of ACTIVE or DRAFT.
